"Replica" lyrics - THE XX

THE XX
"Replica"
(Romy Madley Croft / Oliver Sim / Jamie Smith)

[Verse 1: Oliver Sim]
Same right, same wrong
Only difference is that I'm the one
Second time around
Feels like the song's already been sung

[Pre-Chorus: Oliver Sim + Romy Madley Croft]
Mirroring situations, accurate imitation
Do I watch and repeat?
And as if I tried to, I turned out just like you
Do we watch and repeat?

[Chorus: Oliver Sim + Romy Madley Croft]
They all say I will become a replica
Your mistakes were only chemical

[Verse 2: Oliver Sim]
25 and you're just like me
Is it in our nature to be stuck on repeat?
Another encore to an aftershow
Do I chase the night or does the night chase me?

[Pre-Chorus: Oliver Sim]
Mirroring situations, accurate imitation
Do I watch and repeat?
And as if I tried to, I turned out just like you
Do we watch and repeat?

[Chorus: Oliver Sim + Romy Madley Croft]
They all say I will become a replica
Your mistakes were only chemical

[Bridge: Oliver Sim]
Do I chase the night or does the night chase me?
Do I chase the night or does the night chase me?

[Chorus: Oliver Sim + Romy Madley Croft]
They all say I will become a replica
Your mistakes were only chemical
